The 'Only Fans' site has just announced it will be stopping all explicit sexual content to comply with their banking partners requests.. That's shit news for me.. I only make a couple of grand a month as it is on there, going to be well out of pocket now..

Biden gives me some serious Brezhnev vibes: a gerontocrat that came into power after a period of huge instability and whose main mission is to keep the illusion that everything is ok. I might be completely wrong, but I see Biden more as a caretaker than as a proactive president. I feel like the entire logic of his administration regarding foreign policy will be trying to stay away from and postponing any substantial commitment in money and in lives.

Made my very own Tatziki for the first time today. It's surprisingly easy. Letting it chill in the fridge overnight. Also letting some chicken marinate overnight Gyros-Style.

I'm sure she already did do that so there will be no difference.

Whether you mean to or not I always feel you are talking down to me, as if I were a child and it is very grating and condescending. I respond to people how I think they are talking to me, so you might think ‘I’m emotional’ or whatever, but maybe I’m not the problem here, maybe you have ab abrasive writing style, maybe I have an abrasive writing style too and we butt heads. I just find it odd you feel the need to explain gendered language conventions of Spanish to a Brazilian. Languages do change but you don’t have a foreign government policing it do you? Wouldn’t you find it strange if the Italian government were tweaking the languages you speak as if there is something inherently wrong with it? The implication they know better and there is an immorality in the language. I don’t care either way, I just gave my opinion on it, people can do what they want with it. It is such a pointless problem that it surprises me it goes all the way to the top of America, that is why it is cringe. Do we change Mexicano to Mexicanx? I ‘bash’ America because I live here, am I not allowed to? Is my impression somehow less than others? I also stand up for America quite a lot, but apparently that isn’t worth the time reading as you said (this is exactly what I mean, how kind of you grace me with a quote!). I am also very critical of Australia ask @Devil-Dick Willie, even more so than America, you’ll find many posts criticising Australia. But don’t let that get in the way of my Anti-Americanisms. It very difficult to move a family to another country, expensive, stressful, especially during a world wide pandemic. If I could I would but for now I am here, stranded, without family, without friends. Thanks for your ‘time’.

I'm happy to hear this. He still won't be 'going home to his wife', but at least he didn't destroy other people's families.

Certainly this is an odd scenario. Personally, we shouldn't have been there in the first place. Looking back, it's obvious we used 9/11 as an excuse to go to war with the Middle East and not much good has come from it at all. I was also surprised when I saw, and heard this guy, that he was worried about the situation in Afghanistan, I just assumed the complete opposite as it's rare you see an older white guy in America give a shit about a Muslim country. The situation where we go into these Middle Eastern countries, and attempt to change their government, is really a trend we need to stop. It's costing us a ton of lives, and ton of money, and really we are leaving this world a worse place than it was before we showed up. We are not the world police, and we should stop pretending like we are. The Taliban situation is tricky, as we initially funded them in our fight against the big bad Soviet Union, and in truth, our ideal goal was met as the Soviet Union was pushed back and ultimately collapsed. But now, the Taliban have taken over a country. From things I have read and seen, it seems obvious that not everyone within the country was against the Taliban taking over. They moved way too quickly and easily, so that is something to consider... Could we honestly be seeing a terrorist organization reform and lead a country properly? Unlikely. But their words have been promising, although words are cheap. Personally, I'd like see them allow those that want to leave, leave. And then work on building up the country how they deem fit, as long as they is equal rights (which again, is highly unlikely). I just hope things calm down and again, the people who wish to leave, are able to.

Some people are so warped, brainwashed and downright stupid.

Agree. I'm livid about the whole Afghanistan situation as well, but there is a way to handle a situation, and about 500 ways NOT to. He choose one of the latter.

He's an idiot. "I don't want to die, I want to go home" ...well maybe then don't make terroristic threats... because he's not going to go home, he's either going to die at the hands of the police or get arrested.

Well, you and @El Profesor are bringing attention to it, so I would say that you both are complaining about it. Whether you want to say it's prove that 'America is the worst empire', or that it's 'cringy' still is complaining about the use the language .When in this very reply, in which you ask why America, 'feels the need to alter very old language', is complaining about the actions within America. If you think I was calling you an idiot by explaining the language, then you need to relax, because I never said anything about you being an idiot nor was it my intention to talk down to you. I was simply stating why Latinx has come about in case you didn't know, and the same for @El Profesor, as I don't expect everyone to understand WHY things are done in this country, so I was simply trying to explain in case you didn't know. Also, language is fluid and is always changing. Do we still speak in Old English? No, because language changes and evolves over time, so it's most certainly incorrect to say we as Americans feel the NEED to change a language, and the language does that itself naturally. In fact, it would highly irregular if Language didn't evolve... Lastly, you say that when you get upset about something, that I get up your arse about it? That's simply not true. I leave a lot alone because it's honestly not worth my time. You constantly bash America, yet you remain here. Now, I don't know all the reasoning which is why I don't judge, but in all honesty, I'm not sure why you get all emotional when someone, particular myself, tries to respond to you with a differing view then yours? Absolutely nothing I said was an attack on your personally. Nothing.

Why? Latino are men, Latina are women. Latinx is meant to include all. Now sure how being more inclusive also results in being the 'most pathetic empire of all time'.

It's pretty cringe but a lot of Americanised Latinos use it. I imagine people actually from Latin America find the whole thing embarrassing. For me, it's another example of importing cultural issues from America.

This ignores the fact that sick or injured men are actually worse than babies and she'll have to babysit him now, too

Remember to join your local union!

Sounds nasty... still, gets you out of the hoovering

I'm talking in general though, across the whole spectrum. Not just one incident. No one outside of England gave a shit that they lost.

Yeah, I mean with 10 games to go it looked like we had no chance of securing 4th, never mind 3rd. But Klopp and his staff found a winning solution and rallied to win 8 and draw 2 to do just that. So yeah, it is a bit strange saying Davies should have been thrown into the team as some sort of token gesture

It can't be done.

So we can both acknowledge that he got injured after signing. What we don't know is how he adapted to what was expected of him at Liverpool. I've never seen the lad play (and I would doubt any of us have) and I'm not saying Williams is/was better but what Williams did have over Davies was that he'd spent the full season training and playing under Klopp. Maybe Klopp didn't think Davies was ready from what he'd saw of him in training? Also, there was no Premier League clubs in for him so that's a bit of a weird take. Williams obviously wasn't ready either but to take such a strong stance in favour of a player you've never seen play and know barely anything about is a bit bizarre. I think I'd trust the manager and his staff on this one.

I'm off the Isle of Man today for the first time since October 2019. Just wandering around some of my favourite spots in Liverpool while I wait for my hotel check in to open later on. Even in the rain, a special and beautiful city.

I guarantee you most people on Twitter are definitely from the first world & mostly from the “Anglosphere” - and the racism is proportional, I’m sure. I don’t disagree that Twitter is a cesspool, but let’s not try to pin all the bad behavior on foreigners because that’s definitely not the case

I think drone strikes are somewhat inhumane (although probably a better option for any aggressor than sending in actual troops or aircraft to bomb someone)... but I still think that's a better option for everyone in the Middle East than past policy of "nation building" or backing groups of radicals that they then lose control of. However, I doubt they stop backing fringe groups of weirdos. They're not going to stop in Syria - as far as I know... so they'll probably continue this policy of backing "opposition" in the form of radical weirdos & then be surprised in a few years when those radical weirdos turn out to be as radical and weird as they are.

That's £10 in as promised, paid it early save me doing it early tomorrow morning when I pay my other bills.

yeah, I know

The US is a large nation, where I am I can feel driver agitation and fear of getting hit.

As you get older, you realise your time is more precious. The people in your life that don't add any value to that time will quickly disappear. It's natural and normal.

He's not even green, nor is he that incredible. Bad name.

Anything planned for the evening?
